FASTCRETEFAST SETTING GENERAL PURPOSE CONCRETE

DESCRIPTION:Cemix® Fastcrete can be used for any concrete project requiring fast setting times with low structural requirements. The average Kiwi Fence stands between 1.2m - 1.8m high supported by 100 x 100 H4 posts. Cemix recommends 2 x 20kg bags per post to hold in place prior to the placement of structural concrete.

TYPICAL APPLICATION/USES:• Letter box posts.• Small signs.• Low fence posts.• Temporary hold of posts before topping with Cemix® Multicrete or Cemix® Maxcrete.

ADVANTAGES:• No mixing required. • Fast setting. • Easy and convenient to use.

APPLICATION CONT’D:Due to the fast setting time of Cemix® Fastcrete, do not mix in a concrete mixer or wheelbarrow. After a minimum of 15 minutes the hole can be topped up with earth and after one hour the post can withstand wire straining or similar pressure.It is recommended that a third of the post should be below ground. The diameter of the hole in the ground needs to be a minimum of twice the diameter of the post.

MATERIALS:Cemix® Fastcrete consists of a uniformly blended, properly proportioned mixture of stone, gravel, sand, Portland cement and other admixtures approved for use in concrete to improve workability, performance and the fast set of the product.

PRECAUTION:Hazardous – Portland and blended cement. This product may contain Crystalline Silica. Cements may cause respiratory, skin and eye irritation. Wet cement can be irritating and corrosive to eyes and skin; and may cause skin sensitization (Dermatitis). Repeated inhalation may cause bronchitis, silicosis and lung cancer and increase risk of scleroderma.

SAFETY:Avoid contact with eyes & skin, both from wet & dry mix. Do not breathe in dust. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye protection & barrier cream. Wear a suitable dust mask. Wash thoroughly after handling & store any leftover material properly.

APPLICATION:Dig a hole and place your post in it. Keep the post off the ground to prevent rot and also apply Cemix® Bituproof Plus on the part of the post that will be sub ground. Completely wet the hole and compensate for any ground drainage that might soak up the water required for Cemix® Fastcrete. In sandy soils, line the hole with plastic. Pour 2.5 – 3.5 litres of water per bag of Cemix® Fastcrete. Position the post in the centre of the hole. Evenly and slowly pour the dry contents of the Cemix® Fasrcrete around the post. Ensure the concrete gets wet progressively as you pour. Do not empty the bag quickly as this will lead to dry patches and you will have to rod to allow for water penetration. If any dry product is visible on the surface, sprinkle water over to dampen.
